She’s made international headlines and sparked emotional debates and discussions worldwide. OCTOMOM: THE INCREDIBLE UNSEEN FOOTAGE is the controversial two-part documentary special on Nadya Suleman.

Already a mother of six, Nadya Suleman became known throughout the world in January, 2009, when she gave birth to octuplets conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF). This intimate first look at the woman and her family reveals the emotional struggles, physical complications and financial burdens of this single mother of 14. From the day the octuplets were born, cameras had unprecedented access to every area of Suleman’s life. For more than seven months, the producers documented Suleman, capturing incredible footage, from the private moments and reactions of Suleman’s family and her volatile relationship with her relentlessly hardworking mother, to Nadya’s own feelings, doubts and struggles with caring for 14 children on single parent welfare.

Nadya’s incredible story is one that sparks wide debate regarding IVF treatments, single-parenting and child welfare.
